wedding party walk down the aisle? Alternate ideas?

Honestly, I think that you will be too wrapped up in your FS to have to worry about him in your peripheral!! And if you are worried about that and it does happy, you aren't focusing on your FS enough

I'm curious though to see what other people will say for alternatives.

I've seen it where they walk down the aisle but before the ceremony starts the bridal party sits in the front roll. And only the bride and groom remain up at the alter.

Lol I know it sounds petty, I just have no clue what to expect up there and am nervous. Hopefully it won't distract me too much. I like the idea of the bridal party sitting in the front row. Thanks for the idea!

I agree with heavnsnt- your groom will be so dashingly handsome to even notice the best man! but like kali said you can always have them sit in the from row and have the men sit on the brides side behind you so you dont see him in the front row.

besides what kali said i cannot see what else the BP could do..

maybe someone else is more creative than I

This is easy - depending on where your ceremony is, you may have steps that have you staggard. If that's the case, have him standing where he's blocked by the groom and then the rest of the groomsmen are tiered down from there. If there aren't stairs, you can do the seat thing - but likely you'll know he's looking at you from there, and etiquette wise, is not really appropriate. That would mean also your girls would have to sit. Do you want that?

Like the others said, your likely not really going to see him, as you will and SHOULD be focusing on your groom and your minister. There will be way too much going on.

Frankly, I barely remember seeing our best man behind my husband. Between looking at him, the minister and trying to focus on what I had to say and do, the others in the party were the least of my worries.

And oh yeah, try and prevent yourself from fainting or getting overwhelmed by keeping your knees or at least one, slightly bent.

Good Luck!

Awww, thanks for the advice. You girls are right, I'll have too much to worry about besides the Best Man. I felt really petty asking, but I thought I'd better get other opinions rather than my own. Thanks everyone for the advice.

We have the mothers walking down the aisle with a family member, then my bridesmaids alone and finally my maid of honor (my sister) with her 2 kids.

This was our priest suggestion, “noone look at the guys anyway”, he said...;-)

Lol, good point. Thanks for adding the picture1

I've been to a couple where they stand on opposite sides. The MOH and BM's are your friends and would rather see your face and the likewise with the BM and GM's. Yeah, he's be next to you up there, but you wouldn't see him
